Abstract

Recent progress in installed ultra-long haul undersea transmission systems and related development efforts are reviewed. Topics covered include amplifier equalization, dispersion management, and modulation formats. Practical aspects of installed systems such as initial capacity loading, system aging and design limitations due to stringent reliability requirements will also be discussed.
